Mission Accomplished.

Well, finally it's happened! On Monday, after several days of bidding, Luigi finalised the sale of my debut novel as part of a three-book deal with publishers Simon & Schuster. The debut is to be published both in the UK and the USA sometime around next October. I can't write too much about the deal here, suffice to say that I'll be writing full-time and couldn't be happier with the outcome! Much to do, many things that I hadn't forseen in order to set myself up as effectively self-employed, but all's good!!

Many thanks chaps. Once things are more organised I'll post further updates, but keeping it simple for now....

Matt: I'm just discovering the hitherto unsuspected depths of complexity surrounding new authors and their various 'arrangements'. Got great back-up though, so forging ahead happily :o)
